China has recently occupied a large number of territories, and immigration in these territories will inevitably lead to conflicts with the indigenous populations of the country, and even large-scale riots. For a long time, there will even be attacks by indigenous people against Chinese immigrants. Although the Chinese can hold together, when they are new to a place and are unfamiliar with the place, they are easily attacked. If the safety of migrants is not guaranteed, it will inevitably affect future migrants. Therefore, this point needs to be paid special attention to the security protection of immigrants.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the garrisons in various places have been put in place. At every major settlement, troops were stationed. In addition, patrols are organized and patrolled on a regular basis. Once it is discovered that the local natives have attacked our immigrants, they will definitely deal a severe blow to those natives! Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu said. The military will need to provide for the safety of migrants for a long time to come. After that, after the establishment of reserve brigades in the provinces, these tasks will be gradually transferred to reserve brigades. Faced with unarmed or poorly equipped natives, the reserve brigade was able to protect many immigrants with only a small number of troops.

"The Cabinet was built to provide weapons to immigrants so that they could have the ability to protect themselves. In the war, we captured a lot of weapons. These weapons are also difficult to sell, so instead of destroying them, it is better to provide them for self-protection! Yang Hua said simply.

Wang Yuze was a little hesitant, the empire's weapons control was generally very strict. If immigrants are provided with weapons. Will it cause the proliferation of guns, and finally make the security of the empire a serious problem? Wang Yuze was a little worried that such a problem would occur, so he couldn't make up his mind. However, if immigrants can be provided with weapons, it will be very helpful for them to gain a foothold quickly. However, it needs to be properly managed.

Xiong Wu, the chief of the general staff, knew what Wang Yuze was worried about, so he said: "Your Majesty, it's better to be like this!" Migrants can be given weapons. But one or two rifles from each family will do. In addition, these immigrants can be integrated into the militia, work in peacetime, participate in training in their spare time, and protect the settlements. If necessary, you can also join the army. ”

"Okay, let's do it! However, it must be strictly controlled. Ban these guns from going to the country! Wang Yuze advised.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu replied.

The Great Migration of the Empire is already fully ready and soon. The first batch of immigrants will depart.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, the hometown of Guanzhong, the reason why the Qin State was able to annex the six countries in history was because of the richness of the Guanzhong region. Throughout the ages. It is also the most fertile place. However, after modern times, excessive reclamation has greatly damaged the ecology of this land. The surface of the earth is even more fragmented, with thousands of ravines. Because of the decline in soil fertility. The output of the land is very small, and the people living in these areas are living in great poverty. Therefore, in this migration, the entire Loess Plateau is the top priority. According to statistics, there are more than 10 million people living on the Loess Plateau. In two years, all these civilians will emigrate to northern Siberia and the South Seas.

When the government just announced that it was going to carry out the migration, the entire Loess Plateau was boiling. Many young people are willing to emigrate. They don't want to live this kind of hard life for a long time, and besides, the government has announced that every immigrant can get a large amount of land, which makes them very excited. You know, the reason why they are poor is not because they don't work hard, but because they can't produce anything in the field! The government's immigration policy is supported by these young people. Those who are older, however, refuse to emigrate. Half of their bodies have been buried in the soil, and they don't have a few years to live, so they are naturally reluctant to leave at this time. The elderly are all concerned about a homeland that is difficult to leave. However, when Emperor Wang Yuze issued an order, these old people had nothing to say. They regarded what the emperor said as a holy decree, even if they were unwilling, but the emperor had already issued an edict, and they could not object. In this way, the tens of millions of immigrants on the entire Loess Plateau have no longer heard any opposition.

Bujia Town is a small township on the Loess Plateau, and the entire township is only more than 5,000 people. This is the depths of the Loess Plateau, and the people are very poor. This time, more than 5,000 people from their entire township will migrate to Ringanqiang in the central region of central Myanmar in South-Central Province. For immigrants thousands of miles away, this is completely unthinkable for this small backward township. The people of this small township, the farthest place, have only been to the county seat. Now they are going to immigrate to Nanyang, thousands of miles away, which makes them have an inexplicable fear of the future.

Zhang Laohan, who is fifty years old this year, has lived on the Loess Plateau all his life, but he didn't expect that he would be old, but he still had to emigrate, and I am afraid that he will have to return to his roots in the future, which will be even more difficult. On Zhang Laohan's wrinkled old face, it was full of sorrow.

"Dad, if you really don't want to, then we won't emigrate, the mountains are so big, we will hide in the mountains when the time comes, and when the immigrants are gone, we will come out again." Zhang Laohan's eldest son, Zhang Daniu said. Zhang Daniu is 20 years old this year and has not yet been able to marry a daughter-in-law, which can be regarded as an older youth on the Loess Plateau. Zhang Laohan was too poor at the beginning, so he married his daughter-in-law at the age of thirty. In their small village, there are only more than 200 people in total, and all of them are girls who marry outside, and no girls are willing to marry in.

"Big brother, how can you not emigrate? I've heard that the place where we emigrated to is called Ringanqiang, and the land is fertile. The water source is also abundant, you can grow rice, and one acre of land can produce four or five hundred catties! In addition, in that place, the weather is relatively hot, and two or three crops can be harvested a year, in that case, one acre of land can produce at least 1,000 catties of rice a year. Our family of five, if we go to Ren'anqiang, we can get 150 acres of land, and we will not be able to produce 150,000 catties of rice this year! According to the current price, four cents per catty, that year is also 6,000 yuan! This is the money we can't make in our lifetime! When the time comes, is the eldest brother afraid that he will not be able to talk about his daughter-in-law? Zhang Laohan's youngest son, Zhang Yuhong, who had just turned sixteen, interjected. As the youngest son, he is usually well taken care of at home, and Zhang Laohan even sent him to primary school, if the family really had no money, he might have gone to middle school.

"150,000 catties of rice a year, 6,000 yuan?" Mr. Zhang's family was shocked by this number. Even if the calculation is not accurate, if you make a discount, it will be 3,000 yuan a year! This is definitely a high income for the current empire.

"Dad, anyway, we've already agreed to immigrate, and we've already pressed our handprints, so don't think about anything else. Now the poor people in the family are almost unable to open the pot, and after Nanyang, we will be able to live a good life! Zhang Erniu, the second son of Zhang Laohan, also said with bright eyes. He was also eighteen years old, and he was also old enough to marry a daughter-in-law. But the eldest hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet? Not to mention him!

"Alas! That being said, the thought of leaving this place is always a bad feeling! Zhang Laohan said.

"Well, old man, if you want us to be poor for the rest of your life, then you will stay here. Anyway, I don't want to stay here anymore! Zhang Laohan's wife also said.

"How can you stay here? The emperor has issued a holy decree, can we, the common people, still resist the decree? That's a great crime to kill your head! Now, I can only go to the South Seas hard, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I can only break through. Today's emperor, ruling the world with benevolence and righteousness should not harm us! Zhang Laohan finally said.

"Dad, don't worry, how can the emperor lie to us. Didn't you read what the newspaper said? The empire paid the price of more than 100,000 casualties to conquer such a large land. This is the land that the emperor ** team used their lives to seize for us. Now that the empire is strong, it is natural for us ordinary people to enjoy the benefits brought by the empire after it is strong! The youngest son, Zhang Yuhong, said with a smile.

"I heard that Nanyang is not very peaceful, and we are taking up the land of the locals. Are the locals friendly? The eldest son, Zhang Daniu, said with some caution. If someone else came to occupy his family's land, he would definitely not agree.

"Humph! Those natives, what is there to be afraid of? They are uncivilized natives at their roots. Besides, the newspapers say that the Empire's army will protect us. Besides, each family will be given a rifle or two, and if those natives dare to bully us, then we will kill them! Zhang Yuhong said disdainfully.

"Rifles? That's good stuff! Let's talk about it first, when the rifle comes down, one of them will be mine! Zhang Erniu said with bright eyes.

People like Zhang Laohan abounded throughout the Loess Plateau. For the future, everyone is full of reverence, but also fearful of the future. But in general, everyone still accepted this reality.

At this time, in the South Seas, the imperial army was expelling the natives of those lands, seizing the richest land, and then preparing to distribute it to the immigrants from the country. In the process, many local natives were killed for refusing to surrender their land and then driven deep into the mountains. It can be said that every inch of land is stained with the blood of these natives. It's just that no one cares about them, and their lives are humble!
